The Battle of Britain Combat Archive.
'Wingleader', publishers of the excellent 'Luftwaffe Crash Archive' series of volumes, have just announced the future publication of their new series of ten volumes, title as above, which will be available as of the 15th September, and can be pre-ordered now.
Similar in format to the LCA books, each volume covers a specific period, commencing on 10th July 1940, and covers each day of combat, with descriptions, maps, photos, combat reports and personal accounts, as well as colour profiles relevant to that day, plus a page or more of colour profiles.
Announced as the most important work on the BoB in over 30 years, since the publication of 'The Battle of Britain - Then and Now', each volume is priced at £25, or, if pre-ordered, or succeeding volumes ordered direct on-line, at £20 per volume, plus shipping.
From what I've seen so far, this is a set not to be missed, with excellent content and layout, and should prove very useful for modellers, 'arm-chair historians' and anyone with a more than passing interest in the Battle. I'll certainly be ordering them.
Further (illustrated) details can be found on the their web-site at Wing Leader | Aviation Books and Collectables
